Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified tree surgeon. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically taken as being really strong and permanent, trees can end up being vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can cause expensive repair work.

The hardest decision after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly harmed in the storm may well pose a potential hazard and may well have to be disassembled and removed to prevent placing people & property in danger in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage results in a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or lean violently even though the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack beneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher danger to drop even if it made it through the original storm.
